Dassault Systèmes tapped by BMW

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France – Dassault Systèmes, the parent company of Providence-based Simulia, said on Feb. 10 that German automaker BMW selected its V6 product lifecycle management solution – or PLM – to develop the future electrical, electronics and embedded software architecture of its cars.
“The V6 platform is the Dassault Systèmes strategic solution to create and simulate digitally the most complex embedded systems,” said Dominique Florack, senior executive vice president of products and R&D at Dassault. “I am delighted to see that BMW has endorsed out vision and was able to deploy V6 in production, on time, less than eight months after its decision.”
In a news release, Dassault said that BMW chose the V6 solution because of its flexible PLM backbone and its “large degree of out-of-the-box specialized functionality for systems engineering.”
